New Jersey State Police are seeking help identifying a man who forced his way into a home here about 12:53 p.m. Tuesday and assaulted the woman who lived there.

State police said on Wednesday a man forced his way through the rear door of a Landis Avenue residence and demanded money from the homeowner. A brief struggled ensued before the man threw the 68-year-old woman to the floor. She was able to run from her home when the man went into another room.

The suspect is described as a black male, age 20 to 30, 6 feet to 6 feet 4 inches, 175 to 200 pounds with black hair and a black-and-grey goatee. He fled the scene in a tan or gold sedan, possibly a Toyota Camry.
